Quavious Keyate Marshall, known professionally as Quavo, is a prominent American rapper, singer, and producer, born on April 2, 1991, in Athens, Georgia. He gained fame as a member of the rap trio Migos, formed with his nephew Takeoff and friend Offset in 2008. Migos achieved commercial success with albums like “Culture” and “Culture II” before disbanding in 2023.
Quavo’s solo career began with the album “Quavo Huncho” in 2018, which peaked at number two on the Billboard 200. The album featured hits such as “Workin Me,” showcasing his distinctive style blending rap and melodic hooks. In 2023, he released “Rocket Power,” dedicated to the memory of Takeoff, reaching number 18 on the Billboard 200 and featuring collaborations like “Turn Yo Clic Up” with Future.
Throughout his career, Quavo has been a sought-after collaborator, contributing to Billboard Hot 100 hits like Post Malone’s “Congratulations,” Justin Bieber’s “Intentions,” and DJ Khaled’s “I’m the One.” His versatility extends to various genres, evidenced by his collaborations with Madonna and Travis Scott.
In October 2022, amid speculation about Migos’ future, Quavo and Takeoff formed the duo “Unc & Phew,” releasing the album “Only Built for Infinity Links.” Tragically, Takeoff’s life was cut short in November 2022, prompting Quavo to release singles like “Honey Bun” and “Greatness” in his honor.
Quavo’s influence transcends music, as seen in his collaborations beyond hip hop, such as performing with Madonna at the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 and his ongoing creative partnerships in the industry.
In 2024, Quavo found himself in a high-profile exchange with Chris Brown, responding to diss tracks with his own releases like “Tender” and “Over Hoes & Bitches,” featuring posthumous contributions from Takeoff.
Recently, Quavo collaborated with Lana Del Ray on the song “Tough,” released with a music video in July 2024, highlighting his continuing relevance and creativity in the music scene.
Quavo’s journey from Berkmar High School quarterback to hip hop star reflects his resilience and innovation, cementing his legacy as a versatile artist and collaborator in the global music industry.
